A Wide Angled Panel for Desk and Lap Play

The J2A measures 360 × 230mm, providing plenty of room for both hands.
Its panel uses an angled structure that is higher at the front and lower at the rear, helping it follow the natural angle of your hands. Whether used on a desk or on your lap, it provides a wide and stable playing area.
The controller weighs approximately 1.2kg. It feels stable during play without becoming excessively heavy, making it convenient to move around the home or carry when travelling.
Actual comfort will vary depending on hand size, desk height and playing posture.

Choose a Standard Layout or Customize It Around Your Hands

Tikitaka J2A leverless controller Type-A vs Type-B button layouts
The J2A offers two regular layouts:
  • Type A: a standard leverless button layout
  • Type B: a split layout with separated left- and right-hand control areas
Type A and Type B are regular configurations that can be selected when ordering. They are not part of the custom-layout service.
If neither regular layout fits your needs, you can choose a custom button layout and adjust button positions around your hand size, finger movement and frequently used inputs.

Create Your Own Panel Artwork

The J2A also supports custom panel artwork. Upload your own design file to apply a favorite character, color scheme or original artwork to the controller.
Whether you select Type A, Type B or a custom button layout, custom artwork requires the corresponding customization option and submission of a design file.
By customizing both the button layout and panel artwork, you can build a controller that better reflects your playing habits and visual style.

Short-Travel Kasumi Switches for Light, Fast Inputs

The J2A comes standard with TIKITAKA's original Kasumi switches, developed for fighting game inputs.
  • Actuation point: 0.5 ± 0.2mm
  • Total travel: 1.5 ± 0.2mm
  • Operating force: 35 ± 10g
The shallow actuation point and short total travel make it possible to register inputs with smaller finger movements. This suits players who want a light touch and fast consecutive inputs.
Players accustomed to longer-travel switches may initially find the Kasumi switches more sensitive. With practice, gradually changing from firm presses to lighter touches makes it easier to take advantage of the short-travel design.
The J2A button system supports both Kailh and Gateron switch mounts, allowing players to choose switches according to their preferred feel.

Magnetic Top-Panel Access for Easier Maintenance

The J2A uses a one-piece magnetic top panel, allowing the case to be opened without removing screws.
This provides easier access when cleaning the interior, checking connections or removing the panel, while reducing the need to repeatedly use tools.

PC and PS5 Versions

The J2A is available in PC and PS5 versions:
  • PC version: supports PC, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 and PS4
  • PS5 version: adds PS5 support while also supporting PC and the platforms listed above
Choose the PS5 version if you plan to play PS5 games.
